Coming soonPreoperative anxiety is an acute, perioperative psychophysiological stress state characterized by tension, restlessness, and apprehension regarding an impending surgical procedure, anesthesia, hospitalization, or surgical outcomes.
It frequently affects adult and pediatric patients in surgical settings, engaging the central nervous system, autonomic nervous system, and endocrine system.
Pathophysiologically, the condition is driven by hyperactivity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and sympathetic nervous system discharge, leading to elevated circulating catecholamines and cortisol.
Defining clinical features include tachycardia, hypertension, diaphoresis, gastrointestinal distress, and heightened emotional distress, which can increase intraoperative anesthetic requirements and heighten the risk of postoperative pain, delirium, and delayed recovery.
